JOHN GALLOWAY'S PLAN OF THE UNION
By: Mike Meckes, Korey McKnulty, John Anderson, Lee Hilborn


AMERICAN REVOLUTION RELEVANCE
In the time of the American Revolution, there were three main groups of political views. The Tories who were mainly made up of the rich, that coincided with the king; the Moderates who were neutral and took sides at different times; and the Militants who were people against the King and Parliament, mainly the poor people. Joseph Galloway was a Moderate, that took both sides and tried to keep them balanced so political equilibrium would be brought forth.



POLITICAL VIEWS
In the introduction, Galloway was expressed as a moderate who exerted his views of the union into law, government, and community. His view was moderate because he assimilated the views of both the British and the Colonies together, so being that both sides were taken.


LAW
Galloway believes that the British Legislature and the Colonies should unite to create secured rights and liberties. No one King would make the decisions, but he would make suggestions that would be brought forth upon the President leading eache government in the colonies appointed by him and the Grand Council appointed by the people of the colony. The Grand Council would be able to opt a speaker and exercise all the alleged rights of the House of commons in Britain. Also, the President could not exert powers, rights, or laws without the consent of the Grand Council.


GOVERNMENT
The Grand Council and the President-General would not only be the regulation of the Colony's laws, but also it would be a branch of British Legislature. In addition, that branch of the British Legislation could transmit its own rules as long as it was stated in the British exerts and law or the King accepted the proposition. People of the colony would get their freedom of public speech and representation in government through their elected Grand Council as the King and Parliament would get their regulations to help the colonists make decisions by ensuing them to keep the rules under the British Law. Each colony would be able to keep its own constitution and regulating powers to govern its own internal situations.


COMMUNITY
Galloway ensues that the government would be depicted by the actions of the American representatives, who were picked by the community. The American citizens would appoint their own Grand Council, who would help regulate and participate in lawmaking and internal policies. Citizens can also have meetings every three years to elect new Grand Council members into office and public speakers. In conclusion the community would participate in the regulations and exert their own rights with consent.


CONCLUSION
Galloway would have moderate views on law, government, and community between the British Legislation and the American colonists. In other words, he believes that in order for political advancement and extrenuous laws, the British Legislation and the American colonists should unite to make a balanced political system.
